PASSAGE
The historian provided _____ evidence challenging traditional beliefs.
Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
A. false
B. new✓ Correct
C. outdated
D. obvious
Detailed Answer Explanation
Choice B is the best answer. "New" is correct because it means "not existing before; fresh." The context clues in the passage indicate that this meaning best completes the sentence logically.
Why others are wrong: A ("False" means "not true," which doesn't fit the context.), C ("Outdated" means "no longer current," which doesn't fit the context.), D ("Obvious" means "easily perceived," which doesn't fit the context.).
